BVQ District Eviction Risk: Elevated

2 census tracts · pop 4,679 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6/10 · range 6–6

BVQ District is a 2-tract neighborhood of Cleveland, OH and houses 4,679 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6/10, in the Elevated tier. The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

40% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Cleveland rate of 31.5%. 20% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

Running hot is economic stress at 7.6/10. At $1,112 a month, rents sit 18% over what the rest of Cleveland commands.

The filing record is not thin: 694 evictions logged in this tract. SNAP participation is 24.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 17.4% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 26.7% of adults, 8.9 points above the national rate. Recent filings have not receded much: 12.5% in 2016 against a 17.4% peak.

Among the 57 mapped neighborhoods of Cleveland, it ranks #2 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Belvoir Village and Magnolia-Wade Park Historic District score within a fraction of it.

With little internal variation, 6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
